Rachel in the Doe River Gorge

We got a special treat in this runby in the Gorge. They generated plenty of smoke coming uphill out of tunnel 3. A big cloud of it came out of the tunnel a good 5 seconds before the locomotive gradually appeared. Really a nice effect. I felt sorry for the folks riding in those open cars, though. Guess that's why they had closeable windows in the passenger days.
